Built with Bialet

Built with Bialet#

Bialet is small on purpose, so the useful question is not “how does it scale to a million users” but “does a real app survive on it”. This page answers that with one app and its actual numbers.

dev.ar#

dev.ar is a free .dev.ar subdomain service. You search for a name, sign in, and point the subdomain at whatever you want to run — a redirect, a server, a project. It is server-rendered HTML with a session login and a dashboard, built and maintained by one developer, and it has been running on Bialet since 2023.

It is not a showcase app written for this page. It is the site that pays for the framework’s existence.

What the numbers say#

  • Most of the traffic is not users. Two-thirds of requests are 403s and 404s: scanners asking for /.env, /.git/config, and API paths that do not exist. Bialet answers them and keeps serving.

  • The 5xx rate is the number that matters. Under 0.1% while roughly a hundred thousand hostile requests arrived is the useful result. A single worker with no keep-alive did not fall over.

  • Real usage is small. 545 logins and 508 dashboard views in 22 days is a handful of people per day. That is exactly the size of app Bialet is for, and saying so is more useful than a synthetic load test.

What runs it#

nginx terminates TLS and proxies to Bialet; the app is server-rendered pages and a SQLite file. There is no frontend build, no API gateway, and no JavaScript framework. The one operational number worth repeating is the 5xx rate: everything else is a scanner.

If you run something on Bialet and want it listed, open a thread in GitHub Discussions. Small internal tools are as interesting as public sites — the point is the shape of the app, not the visitor count.
